Cassiopeia gasped and slowly looked at Nic. ”Please tell me you don't subject your poor patients to your stand-up comedy routines. They've suffered enough, Nic,” she teased him. She took a bite of her pizza and wiggled happily. It still tasted wonderful even though it was colder.

”What was your initial reaction when he told you, Ren?” Cassiopeia couldn't help her curious mind in wanting to know more about Nic and his past.

Caden chuckled but nodded his compliance, and signalled the server to order Nero another. Caden brushed his hand along Nero's arm, watching them while they ate. For someone who didn't need to eat, Nero took the task of food consumption seriously. Caden chuckled again, shaking his head.

”Oh? You've never mentioned having a mate. What are they like?”

Avery grinned when Kimiko's accent got stronger on the word bloody. He chuckled when she leaned in tantalisingly close but didn't kiss him.

”Just me. I do appreciate it, but I was trying to be respectable and less perverted,” he explained. She started to shift away from him and Avery's hands automatically went back to her hips and he tightened his hold on her. ”But apparently you like that about me.”

Cassiopeia huffed as she was promptly plopped onto Nic's lap. She stared at him, her face blank, but she couldn't maintain it. She loved this man too much. Her face split into a happy smile and she shook her head, rolling her eyes.

”You're insufferable. Was he always like this?” Cassi asked Ren while she pulled her pizza box closer.

”They will keep. We have plenty to keep us occupied until then,” Caden said. He finished off his pastry, and sipped his coffee while he watched Nero try and pace themselves with their dessert.

”Do you want me to order you another to take home?”

Avery's eyes danced back and forth from watching Kimiko eat her strawberries, and roaming her body. She was equally stunning and powerful. Avery could easily see the speed and agility her body had from running and hunting, as well as shifting into her fox. He felt shame briefly for ever doubting her ability to look after herself. She would train with Cassi and get stronger. Avery just had to trust her.

When she leaned down, Avery moved one of his hands to rest over hers to keep her from pulling her hand back. He looked into her eyes as she sat back up from kissing his head and smiled.

”And what if I say I desire you?”

Cassiopeia felt more flushed after Ren patted her cheek. It was such an endearing gesture that tugged on her heart and warmed her soul. Still, Nic was refusing to put her down.

"So, am I eating in your lap or what? Cause I'm about to pull out some self-defense moves," Cassi politely informed Nic.

"Perhaps a little, but I am sure someone would be interested in seeing historical world maps if you want to get them appraised," Caden said. He took another bite from his pastry before he watched Nero. He smiled at the joy on their face, and squeezed their leg.

Avery paused in running his hands up Kimiko's back, ready to take her robe off but had to stop. "Did you just call me a pinecone? What possessed you to call me that?" he asked, barely holding back a laugh. His hands tightened on Kimiko's back while he laughed.

It took Avery some time to regain his composure before he could continue his task in removing Kimiko's robe. He slipped it off her shoulders, and let the robe fall to pool around her.

"Alright, you're spoiling me. What are you going to do now, then?"

It was then when Cassiopeia hear Ren's surprised voice that she was glad she had a longer jacket on, and that Nic's arm was covering her from flashing her father-in-law. Still, when Nic turned around, Cassi's face was a deep red with embarrassment.

"We got you something and bruschetta." She offered the bag to him before hiding her face once more. Wayland was absolutely no help. Instead the little beast jumped onto the table, and reached out a paw to Nic, to make it easier for Nic to pick them up.

"If only it worked like that," he said, the tone of his voice low with desire. Caden traced his finger across their throat, watching it bob before he took his finger away. A short moment later, the dessert arrived.

"Mmm, I think I should like to take you to Paris first, perhaps. Or maybe we can tour the UK before we move on to somewhere warmer," Caden said, his voice back to normal, and he thanked the server before taking a bite of his pastry.

Avery laughed, and rested his hands on Kimiko's hips. He held her in place while he rolled over and looked up at her from his back.

"You love me and my perverted mind because its just thoughts about you," he stated. Avery ran his hands up Kimiko's sides, the fabric of her outfit catching along his hands. "So, you've given me a massage. Does that mean I have to pay you back now for your services?"

The simple kiss was enough to leave Cassi craving more. She sighed when the elevator doors opened, signalling that their little game was over. She smiled at Nic, and moved to follow him out of the elevator when her perspective on the world changed.

Cassi had no time to react to Nic picking her up and tossing her over her shoulder like a sack of flour. Cassi squealed in alarm once she was there and wiggled on his shoulder.

”Nicholas! This is hardly appropriate,” she declared. She stared at the floor, and spoke again when she recognized Nic's flooring.

”Wayland! Tell your father to unhand me,” she demanded, knowing the cat was somewhere and would surely come to her rescue.

Caden unconsciously tracked Nero's movements as they tilted their head back. It wasn't something that normally spoke to Caden, and he was certain Nero didn't intend for it to come across as a move of submission, but it aroused Caden's dragon and the creature purred happily.

Normally, for a werewolf or even a vampire, exposure of the neck was a submission to the more dominant creature. For Caden, in this moment, it was highly arousing.

Caden watched Nero's throat stretch and twist while they spoke to him, and unconsciously Caden ran the tip of his finger down the unprotected side of their throat.

”As do I, mein kleiner Kobold, as do I.”

Avery grinned, joy sparking in his eyes. He let his hand fall from her leg after she smacked it away.

”You're no fun,” he teased her. Avery's eyes shifted to take in Kimiko's body from this new angle. ”You know, I think I like you on top.” He brought his hand back and fiddled with Kimiko's open robe.
